How MARKETING TEAMS USE 3D PRINTING
TO TURN IDEAS INTO CAMPAIGN-READY ASSETS

PR Props & Event Displays

When you need something bold, branded, and built fast, we produce custom props and display pieces that look great on camera and in-person. This includes product-launch props, branded desk pieces, podium items, signage elements, and themed display objects for PR events and pop-ups. We’ll help you choose the best mix of speed, finish quality, and cost, then elevate the final result with finishing options like paint, polishing, and electroplating where it makes sense.

Packaging Mock-Ups & Product Prototypes

Give clients something they can hold — not just a render. We create high-detail prototypes for packaging and product concepts so your team can validate form, scale, shelf presence, and overall presentation before committing to tooling or mass production. For premium visual prototypes, SLA is ideal for smooth surfaces and crisp detail, and we can support clear resin looks where transparency matters. If you’re still iterating, we can produce quick versions first, then refine the finish once the design is locked.

Exhibition Models & Display Centrepieces

For booths, showrooms, and launch displays, we produce accurate models and centrepiece assets that present professionally under lighting and at close viewing distance. This can include hero models for display cabinets, scaled product showcases, and modular components that are easier to transport and assemble on-site. If the creative direction changes late (it happens), we can update parts quickly and keep the project moving without waiting on overseas suppliers.

Bulk Giveaways & Low-Volume Production

Need consistent giveaway items for events or campaigns? We support low-volume production runs without tooling or MOQs — so you can launch small, test engagement, and scale up when you’re confident. We’ll guide you through materials and processes to keep unit costs sensible while maintaining repeatable quality across the batch. The goal is to avoid overspending on features your audience won’t notice, and focus your budget on the details that actually drive perceived value.

Finishing & Presentation Services

The print is only half the job — finish is what makes it look “campaign-ready.” We offer presentation-focused options like painting, polishing, electroplating, and clear resin aesthetics (where suitable) so your props and prototypes look premium, clean, and intentional. If you’re unsure what level of finish you need, we’ll recommend the most cost-effective pathway first, then step up only where it meaningfully improves the final look on camera or in-hand.

File Review, DFM Support & Realistic Timelines

Send your model or brief and we’ll review it for printability, surface expectations, strength needs, and deadline feasibility. If your files are already print-ready, we can move quickly — including 24-hour express for eligible jobs. If not, we’ll flag issues early and set clear expectations so there are no surprises late in the timeline. You’ll always know what’s possible, what’s risky, and what the best next step is to hit your deadline with confidence.

Choosing the Right 3D Printing Process FOR MARKETING PROJECTS

For marketing teams, the “right” process comes down to one thing: what will deliver the best visual impact by the deadline, without wasting budget. At KAD3D, most marketing projects are best served by FDM (fast + cost-effective) and SLA (premium finish + detail). We’ll guide you to the best balance of speed, quality, and cost depending on whether you’re building quick prototypes, campaign props, exhibition display pieces, or consistent giveaway runs.

FDM (Fast + Cost-Effective)
Best for: PR event props, larger display elements, quick prototypes, and bulk giveaways where speed and unit cost matter.
FDM is ideal when you need parts produced quickly and reliably — especially for bigger items or batches. It’s a strong option for branded props, signage components, mock-ups, and giveaways where durability and turnaround are the priority. If needed, we can still elevate the look with post-processing and finishing so it presents professionally.

SLA (Premium Finish + Detail)
Best for: packaging mock-ups, product prototypes, display centrepieces, and anything that needs to look premium up close or on camera.
SLA is the go-to for smooth surfaces, crisp edges, and high detail — perfect when the piece is being photographed, presented to a client, or displayed under lighting. We can also support clear resin aesthetics where transparency matters, and finishing options like paint, polishing, and electroplating (where suitable) to deliver a true “campaign-ready” result.

Other technologies (when needed)


We also offer processes like SLS/MJF (nylon) and SLM (metal), but for most marketing briefs they’re not the first choice. They’re typically used when the project demands production-grade durability, a more “manufactured” feel, or a true metal finish — which can add time and cost without improving the visual outcome for standard props, mock-ups, or giveaways. If your brief genuinely benefits from them, we’ll recommend it, but in most cases FDM and SLA deliver the best mix of speed, finish quality, and cost for marketing work.

Bottom line: If you’re optimising for speed + cost, choose FDM. If you’re optimising for finish + presentation, choose SLA. And if you’re not sure, we’ll recommend the best option after reviewing your brief.

Choosing the Right Materials for MARKETING PROJECTS

Every successful campaign piece starts with the right material. At KAD3D, we recommend materials based on the outcome you care about most — presentation quality, durability for handling, turnaround time, and cost per unit (especially for giveaways). Most marketing jobs are best suited to FDM plastics and SLA resins, because they deliver the strongest balance of speed, quality, and cost.

This approach helps marketing teams hit the right balance of speed, finish quality, and budget for each campaign — with consistent, production-ready results and clear expectations from day one.

FINISHING & POST-PROCESSING FOR MARKETING PROJECTS

At KAD3D, finishing is where campaign pieces go from “printed” to presentation-ready — and for marketing work, this is mainly applied to SLA parts, where surface quality and detail matter most. Whether it’s a hero prop for a PR event, a packaging mock-up for a client pitch, or a premium display piece for an exhibition, we use the right finishing method to lift the look and feel — without adding unnecessary time or cost. The goal is simple: a result that looks premium in-hand and on camera.

By pairing SLA + finishing for premium presentation, and using FDM where speed and cost matter more, we help marketing teams hit the best balance of speed, finish quality, and cost — with clear expectations from day one.

From DIGITAL CONCEPT TO CAMPAIGN-READY ASSETS

Not every marketing job starts with a perfect 3D file — and that’s exactly where KAD3D makes life easier. Whether you have print-ready files, a rough concept, or a reference item, we help you get from idea to a polished, presentation-ready result with clear expectations around finish, timelines, and budget.

When projects need customisation, premium finish, or repeatable results, we typically run in two simple phases:

Phase 1 —CAD Creation & Finish Planning

We capture your requirements, create (or refine) the CAD file, and recommend the best approach for the right mix of speed, quality, and cost. We’ll confirm scale, key details, and the finishing level needed for a “camera-ready” result.

Phase 2 — Printing, Finishing & Quality Check

Once approved, we move into production using the most suitable process (mainly FDM or SLA). Every part is checked for key dimensions and surface quality, then finished where required (mainly SLA finishing) and shipped Australia-wide with consistent results for repeat orders.

For clients with print-ready 3D files, we can skip straight to Phase 2 after a quick technical check — including 24-hour express for eligible jobs.

Icon
(Phase 1) Step 1
BRIEF / FILE SUBMISSION

Send your 3D file, reference images, or a simple brief. We’ll confirm what it needs to look like, how it’ll be used, and when you need it.

PRICING

At KAD3D, marketing projects are quoted based on size, finish level, quantity, and deadline — so you only pay for what you actually need. From fast FDM props and giveaways to premium SLA presentation parts, every quote is tailored to hit the right balance of speed, finish quality, and cost.

For marketing teams, the biggest price drivers are usually surface finish (camera-ready vs basic), quantity (one hero piece vs a batch), and turnaround (standard vs express). If you’re not sure what level of finish is worth it for the campaign, we’ll recommend the most cost-effective option first and step up only where it meaningfully improves the result.

For custom/NDA briefs, we quote via email so we can align on expectations and avoid surprises. You’ll receive clear pricing with what’s included — plus realistic timelines based on the process and finishing required.

LEAD TIMES

Lead times depend on process, complexity, and finishing — but we design the workflow around agency deadlines. For most marketing work, typical lead times are:

FDM parts: usually ~3 business days, with a 24-hour express option available for eligible, print-ready files.
SLA parts: usually ~1–2 weeks, depending on size and finishing (paint, polish, clear finishing, electroplating where suitable).

If you’re working toward a fixed event date, tell us the deadline up front. We’ll confirm what’s realistic, recommend the best approach for the timeline, and keep communication tight so you’re never guessing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have a questions in mind?

What is 3D scanning and when should I use it?
3D scanning captures your physical part as a detailed digital 3D model. It’s great for: replacing an unavailable part, checking fit, keeping a digital record, or starting a redesign. If you need an editable CAD model for manufacturing, we usually combine scanning with reverse engineering (see Q2).

Local pickup only available in melbourne, and next-day courier to metro areas are available. We also ship Australia-wide.

No MOQs—we’ll make one-offs or batches. Minimum order value is $55.

I uploaded a file for an instant quote, which was followed up by Max via email. He was super helpful and made a real effort to check in and clarify how I wanted my model printed to make sure everything was correct. Really friendly people and the whole thing was done and ready to collect the same day.

I have a customer in Australia who needed a small part printed. I live in the USA so it would have been really hard to ship such a small part making sure it wasn't lost in shipping. Kad 3D was able to print and ship the part for me which saved a ton of time for my customer. They are able to finish their build in days as opposed to the weeks it would take for a new shipment to arrive. Thank you so much!!
